Irish eyes are smilin'...this kid bleeds green...our own family leprechaun!
My St. Paddy's day suggestions:
Make these cookies, shape and decorate into shimmering shamrocks. Munch them as you recline with a new book by a favorite Irish author and don't forget some Irish tunes**.
Slainte!
**St Pat's trivia questions for my relatives...
--With which member of U2 did Opa share a plane?
--Which U2 song did Grampa Jiggs sing at one of our last family sing-alongs?

Oh, yay! I love Maeve Binchy and didn't know she had written a new one. Happy wearin' of the green!
Shamrock cookies-check
good book-check
Irish tunes-check check
Happy Patties Day!
Trivia answers:
1. Bono (or Bone-O, as I've heard it described from you all over the years)
2. With or Without You? That's my best guess, although I do remember that moment with extreme fondness. He sat there and tried to sing along, just like everyone else. It was hilarious and endearing, all at once.
Do I win a prize?
Thanks for the happy mail. I love it! Wishing you the luck of the Irish.
Happy Green Day! I'm making those cookies tomorrow. Thanks.
And cute pic!
Stie...You of course win a prize!
And, you are right, it was With or Without You. For some reason, I was thinking it was Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For...but you are totally right.
Don't you think Dad should do a book for U2? He and Bone-O shared so much on that plane...
Thank you for the recipe ☺.
Happy St. Patrick's Day, lassie. Wait...is lassie Scottish or Irish?
Love the picture of your personal leprechaun. His eyes really are smiling!
A new Maeve book? Barnes and Noble run tonight!!
I'd forgotten what today was til Scotty pinched me. I told him I had green underwear on. He looked very confused.
Gab,
What a great memory I had forgotten. I mean really... that sing along was the greatest! I can just hear him trying to pick out that harmony... that was too good.
Thanks for that Irish Memory.
& I hope you caught U2 on Letterman everyday for the week a few weeks ago!
Heed
I am making those for tonight! YUM
I just got the real story. Baw-no (Not Bone-O. We're not THAT un-cool) was on a flight from London to NYC with Dee (sitting in different classes, of course.) When they got off the plane almost simultaneously Dad saw crowds of girls holding signs and yelling "Bono" and then he realized the guy in the bowler hat was someone famous...
I don't even remember which sing-a-long you're referring to!
Where did Jake bury his bag of gold?
Dang, I totally missed St. Patrick's Day. This is what you get when your kids don't go to school and you are half alive with a nasty sinus cold thing.
Next year, right?
Awww...how cute are you?!?!
The extent of our St. Pat's was the purchase and eating of Lucky Charms and wearing green.
I love Maeve Binchy too, haven't visited her in a while, next time I hit the library I will.
